CAR-COUPLING.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 464,712, dated December 8, 1891.

Application filed April 4, 1891. Serial No. 387,689. (No model.)

.T0 all whom, it may concern,.-

Be it known that I, JOHN J. D. KINGSBUEY,

I of East Bloomfield, county of Ontario, State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Car-Couplers, of which the following is a specification.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a longitudinal sectional elevation. Fig. 2 is a plan showing the lower side of the upper side of the draw-head. Figs. 3 and 4 are modifications of the balance-weight and spring.

The slide E, operated by the 'spring S, is so adjusted that when the pin A is drawn intol the upper face of the draw-head the slide E, being released by pin A, is forced forward by spring S, covering the opening in draw-head by slide E formin ga support for'pin A. When two draw-heads come in contact, slide E is forced into draw-head until the opening in the slide E corresponds with the opening in draw-head occupied by pin A, thereby releasance-Weight D, combined substantially as shown and described.
